Hi, I found that the 'Table View' of references really helpful (when export it to Microsoft Excel) for the literature review and systematic review writing preparation.

Therefore, I appreciate if the field column in the Table View will be available for the field like Quotations, Summary, Comments, Red highlight, etc. (i.e: Knowledge/annotations items field). So that we can select and add the preferred 'knowledge/annotations items' column in the table and can see all list of the saved quotations, annotations, summary or red highlighted article sentences in the table view / excel table view format. (However, if this option is already exist, please guide me).

I think this such great feature will make much more easier for user to get the whole picture of knowledge/annotations that picks from the articles/references, since everything can be viewed simultaneously in one table form.

Adding knowledge items such as quotations to the table view is not possible due to technical reasons. However, if you let us know exactly what outcome you are trying to achieve, we may be able to suggest a workaround.

Since Citavi can produce the information of the references in one table (Table View feature), it will be more beneficial and powerful if the feature also can include the saved knowledge items/quotations. Especially for the purpose to create the systematic review or critical literature review outline.

For your information, ‘Literature Review’ is one of the compulsory chapter in our postgraduate thesis or research proposal for fund application. For this time being, the common practice way to generate the table in MS Excel is manually by ‘copy & paste’ method. But it will take a lot of time and difficulties when involves hundreds of references.

Unfortunately, there is no workaround that will output the kind of table that you describe. We agree that it could prove useful, and should more of our users request it, we will gladly add it to our internal development wishlist. However, currently all of our resources are focused on releasing Citavi 6 and developing Citavi Web.

Kind regards,Damien
